The Mangulam inscriptions record the grant of a monastery to Nanta-siri (Nanda-śrī), a senior Jaina monk. The donor in the first inscription (No. *1*) is Kaṭalaṉ Vaḻutti-y (Vaḻuti) described as the 'servant' of Neṭuñcaḻiyaṉ (Neṭuñceḻiyaṉ). The donor in the second inscription (No. *2*) is Caṭikaṉ who is described, in a curiously roundabout manner, as 'the father of Iḷañcaṭikaṉ, the husband of the sister-in-law of Neṭiñcaḻiyaṉ (Neṭuñceḻiyaṉ)'.
